Edible Gardening

If using a traditional A frame structure using bean poles/canes a N/S alignement will ensure sunlight to both sides.If using a frame with a single sloping side (a goal post type structure with the beans as the 'net'), an E/W alignment will ensure sunlight to the side you desire (there's some...

I'd say not, scaling by the petals lying on the ground.

Marrows and courgettes, as far as I know, are basically the same plant, it's mainly about variety. Cues are different and very easy to distinguish from marrows, as Scrungee points out.

Maybe I've left it too late then. My aubergines, I've got 3 aubergines just through the soil. I bought a pepper plant so it's well underway in my greenhouse

I like the idea of a shabby-chic wooden crate, with individual pots!Personally, if there was one herb I would look to grow, it would be French tarragon. It doesn't dry, does not take kindly to freezing, and nothing beats it, freshly picked, with chicken and mushroom! They are available as a...

Best keep it in a pot then

If I said that I would have people laughing at me!

Thanks mowerman. You can come and mow our garden sometime. Will try this out in summer when we have fruit .... The sour kefir worked well by the way. But I got another idea in the night: I'll cut it up! Easy when half frozen. And marinate it that way, and then fry it quickly, hot.

I think 10 inch is too small, definitely plant them in the ground...when the weather warms up.Steve...

Hammer a metal rod/crowbar into the ground then waggle it around using a circular motion and fill the tapered hole with fine soil/MPC.

That thought did cross my mind! Bit, all the others are clear: gardener's delight tomato, moneymaker tomato, evesham sprout etc.

For salad leaves I think they will do better grown outdoors rather than in a blow-away. All I can think of as an advantage in a blow-away is that you could stack a few more on the shelves, but they would need constant watering.

Look forward to it You can carry on till harvest if you want

My rhubarb patch - after I had just picked 20lb.

If I understood correctly the 6yr tree will not get moved.Yes - if OP can wait, do it after 9-10 months is better.

They grow fairly well outside here...I grow several seedless white varieties, one black seedless and Muscat of Alexandria (snap! pete). We have severe problems with wasps and hornets but if you get jam/beer/wine traps up early enough and avoid leaving their preferred building materials lying...

I always cut the flowers off but I have more than sufficient plants not to need to propagate them.One word of warning with cutting them. Make sure that you cut the flowering stalks right down. Otherwise they can have a hollow section left that will hold water and, possibly, rot the crown.

Thanks everyone. I'll dig them up and start over !

I remember that tree when it was a sapling.

Try sowing Fern spore.......
